Using Discovery for Automatic Creation
This chapter is going to be all about making sure that you as a Zabbix administrator are doing as little work as possible on host and item creation. We are going to learn how to perform (or perfect, maybe) automatic host, item trigger, and graph creation. Check out the recipes featured here to see just what we are going to discover.
In this chapter, we will first learn how to set up Zabbix network discovery with Zabbix agent and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). We will then set up active agent autoregistration. Later, we will also cover the automatic creation of Windows performance counters, Java Management Extensions (JMX), and SNMP items using low-level discovery (LLD).
In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:
- Setting up Zabbix agent host discovery
- Working with Zabbix SNMP network discovery
- Automating host creation with active agent autoregistration
- Using Windows performance counter discovery...
